Knowledge transfer/implementation Current evidence regarding the optimal surgical approach to potentially curable right colonic cancer is based on numerous, well designed randomised controlled clinical trials. Currently, eminence based opinion suggests that an alternative surgical technique, SILS, may improve short and long term outcomes after minimally invasive right colonic resection. A true, prospective analysis comparing standard of care (laparoscopic right hemicolectomy) and this "new" therapy(SILS) has yet to be published. Having established the optimum treatment modality the minimally invasive approach to right colonic tumors the results will be communicated at national and international meetings. Findings will be submitted to an international surgical journal to ensure maximal communication of results and will be made available to national and international academic societies to enable the establishment of guidelines of best practice for surgical management of right colonic cancer.
